Teenager Suleman Dawood, son of Shahzada Dawood, who died in the titan submarine along with four other people last week, had taken his Rubik’s Cube because she wanted to break a world record, her mother, Christine Dawood, told the BBC. For this, the young man 19 yearsapplied for the Guinness book of records and her father, Shahzada, who also lost his life on the Titan, had brought a camera to capture the moment.

The mother stated that her son liked the Rubik’s cube so much that he took it with him everywhere, dazzling people with its ability to solve the complex puzzle in 12 seconds. “He Said: ‘I’m going to solve the Rubik’s Cube 12,000 feet under the sea on the Titanic,'” she added.

Christine Dawood and her 17-year-old daughter Alina were aboard the Polar Prince, the support vessel for the submersible, when word came that communications with the Titan had been lost. “I didn’t understand what it meant at the time, but then everything got worse,” said her mother, in her first interview after the tragedy. Christine Dawood added that the original plan was that she would go with her husband in the submersible, but “then I stepped back and left the space to prepare (Suleman), because he really wanted to go,” he said. “I was very happy for them because they really wanted” to see the wreckage of the Titanic, he added.

Suleman and his father Shahzada Dawood died last week during a tourist trip to see the remains of the Titanic due to the catastrophic implosion of the submersible in which they were belonging to the Ocean Gate company along with three other people who died on board: Stockton Rush, the executive director of the OceanGate company (owner of the submersible); British businessman Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, prominent French explorer
